Secondly after she had our money, she told us that she could meet us in Katy Texas if we had somewhere to go. After receiving Bentley's paperwork, I discovered he was not 10wks as she stated, but 8 wks. This is why he was significantly smaller than the rest of the puppies, as he was not the actual extra-small toy size as she claimed. After taking Bentley to his first wellness check, I was pleased to discover he is perfectly healthy, but I'm still furious that this is how she conducts business and that she swindled me out of an extra 250.00 for a puppy who was actually younger and really should not have been weened from his mother at such a young age. She made his transition here much harder than it had to be and this really saddens me. Anyone that can be of assistance w/ this matter or share some insight of Betty and her comrad, please email me at LBarnett1908@gmail.com |
Pups should not leave their mother until at least 12 weeks old.
Im sure there are some laws against selling under age pups in the US but I am from the UK and not familiar with them, I will let an american member help you on that one.
It is common for bad breeders to lie about the age when selling "tea cups" or "tinies" to make you think that they are smaller then they really are.
Either way there is no such thing as a tea cup yorkie and breeding for tinies is very dangerous and not something a reputable breeder would do. I wish you and your pup well.
